C. Site Preparation
Caution: The DCD-521/C HD System
should not be installed near large motors,
generators, transformers, or other equipment which radiates strong magnetic
fields. Placing the DCD-521/C HD near
such equipment may result in improper
operation.
2.05 The DCD-521/C HD may be installed in either
an EIA (485 mm [19 inch]) standard rack with either
44 mm or 70 mm rack unit (RU) mounting screw
holes, or an ETSI (535 mm [21 inch]) standard rack
with 25 mm rack unit (RU) mounting screw holes.
2.06 This section assumes that a site survey was
performed and an Installation Job Specifications
was developed by the local company as supplements
to this section. The Installation Job Specifications
should contain the following:
The number of shelf assemblies to be installed
The racks and rack positions where the shelf
assemblies are to be installed
Power and frame ground connections between
the office and the shelves
Cable routing lists for power, ground, inputs,
and outputs

2.07 The DCD-521/C HD System consists of a master shelf and up to three expansion shelves. Each shelf
assembly (master and expansion) contains a card
chassis, a CEP, and an interface panel. The DCD521/C HD shelf assemblies are mounted as shown in
Figure 1.
2.08 The master shelf assembly is mounted at the
top or, if used in conjunction with an external reference source (i.e., a DCD-LPR/C), directly below the external reference source; expansion shelf assemblies
are mounted below the master shelf assembly.
2.09 If two racks are required, the racks must be
mounted adjacent and as close as possible to keep the
cable length as short as possible. Refer to local company practices for ribbon cable routes between equipment racks, if permitted.
2.10 A complete DCD-521/C HD system in another
part of the building can be slaved to the master system, allowing outputs to be located closer to NEs
that require synchronization.

D. Shelf and Interface Panel Mounting

2.11 Mount a DCD-LPR/C at the top of the rack. If
a DCD-LPR/C is not part of the installation, mount
the master shelf assembly at the top of the rack.
2.12 The mounting ears on the master and expansion shelf assemblies can be positioned for either
EIA (485 mm [19 inch]) or ETSI (535 mm [21 inch])
standard mounting. The shelf assemblies are
shipped with the ears positioned for EIA mounting.
Perform mounting as specified in the local companys
Installation Job Specification as follows:
1.

If the position of the mounting ears is appropriate, skip this step. Remove and attach the
mounting ears on the master and expansion
shelf assemblies as appropriate (Figure 2).

2.

Align the mounting holes so that at least four

screws on each side can be installed, and attach
using the provided screws.

3.

Mount the first expansion shelf directly under

the master shelf. Air circulation is provided by
the grill on the bottom of the shelf.

4.

If capacity requires more expansion shelves, install the appropriate number of expansion
shelves per instructions in Step 3.

5.

If the cable distance between the DCD-521/C

HD system and the NEs being timed exceeds the
specifications, set up a slaved remote system
with the appropriate number of output slots. See
Part 2B, Master System to Remote System Interconnection.

2.14 The TNCE/TNC switch (SW1) on the CEP

(Figure 5) selects the clock operation for the shelf.
a. The TNCE position sets the master shelf for
operation with rubidium (TNC-E/C) clock
cards, and 090-44010-57 and -57T MRC/C
cards. The expansion shelf must be set to the
factory setting (TNC).
b. The TNC position sets the master shelf for operation with quartz (TNC/C or LNC/C) clock
cards, unless a TNCE/C card is also installed.
This switch must be set to the factory setting
(TNC) on the expansion shelves.

OPEN position is not
connected to frame
ground.
This screw is the frame
ground connection. Be
sure it is secured to the
CEP.

Choose the appropriate module for each PSM/C

card to be installed on the master shelf.

ated connector is connected to ground at the

DCD shelf. The OPEN position holds the shield
disconnected from ground.

2.17 The interface panel is located above the CEP

and contains connectors for the timing output modules and the PSM/C input modules.

990-45105-11 module (Figure 7): determine

which external equipment are to be connected
by wire-wrap cable and which by Siemens
1.6/5.6 connections. When the jumper is connected (factory setting), the wire-wrap connectors are active. When the jumper is not
connected, the coaxial connectors are active.
Each port (OUT 1 through OUT10) can be set independently.

2.18 Install an interface module in the position corresponding to the slot the card is to be installed
(Table A). Installation procedures for the master and
expansion shelves are identical.
2.19 To install the interface modules:
1.

Choose the appropriate interface module for each

output card to be installed (refer to Tables B
through D) on the shelf.

2.

Align the three spring-loaded screws on the

modules with the holes on the panel.

2-port BNC interface module (Figure 6): install

the appropriate attenuation pads (2 dB, 3 dB,
3.5 dB, 6 dB, 30 dB, or 60 dB) on the interface
module. (The pad values should be determined
from the local company Installation Job Specifications.) To install the pads, line up pins on the
pad with U1 (with labeling on the pad right-side
up) and insert until firmly seated. Repeat for
U2.

3.

Use a medium flat-blade screwdriver to lock

each screw in place. Torque the screws evenly to
prevent skewing the module.

4.

Repeat Steps 1 through 3 for all modules.

2-port BNC interface module (Figure 6): if required to isolate DC ground (SHIELD) from
DCD equipment, remove jumper(s) (DC GND),
J1 and/or J2.

5.

Repeat Steps 1 through 4 for each expansion

shelf in the system, if applicable.

6.

Repeat Steps 1 through 5 for the remote system,

if applicable.

Caution: Make sure the top screw is securely in place; this is the frame ground
connection to the interface panel.

2.20 Grounding connections are made from the TB1
FRM terminal, the TB3 FRM terminal, and the TB5
terminal on the CEP to frame ground. Figure 5
shows the locations of the terminal blocks on the
CEP. Frame ground is a #6 ground rod connected to
the rack, or the rack itself.
Note: Connect one or both of the GND (digital ground) terminals on the master shelf
CEP to an office digital signal ground or signal return path, if available. If expansion
shelves are used, connect each of the expansion shelf frame ground terminals to each
other and to the master shelf frame ground
terminal.
Note: Use 1.29 mm (16 AWG) stranded wire
with green insulation for grounding connections; these wires are to be supplied by the
user.
Note: Ensure the ground source is properly
installed.

routed down separate sides of each shelf. If

the site only has one power source, then
route both A and B feeds from that single
source, and route the cables in diverse paths.

2.22 TB1 and TB3 on the CEP (Figure 5) are screwdown compression type office battery connections;
either can be used. Both terminal blocks contain terminals for all batteries, returns, and grounds.
Figure 8 illustrated the power connections.
2.23 The fuses for the DCD-521/C HD master and
expansion shelves are rated at 5 A. Fuses at the fuse
bay should be 150% of the shelf rating, or the nearest
larger size (8 A).
Note: Ensure that the A and B power loads
are from separate sources and cable routes
are as diverse as possible. Do not route redundant leads parallel to each other in the
same cable rack. Leads A and B must be

Note: Use two 1.29 mm (16 AWG) stranded

wires for power connections, one with red insulation (48V) and the other with black insulation (RTN); these wires are not provided
and must be supplied by the user.
2.24 Use 1.29 mm (16 AWG) stranded wire to connect office battery supply leads from the external

2.25 The greatest diversity in cable routes is highly

recommended. The power sources should be specified in the local company Installation Job Specifications. The sources may be from a battery distribution
fuse board (BDFB), a miscellaneous fuse bay, or a
miscellaneous fuse panel in the same rack as the
DCD-521/C HD. Several options for power cable
routes are available. Either power lead may be connected to either terminal block.
Note: Be sure the 48 V dc source is electrically isolated from the ac source and reliably
connected to earth ground.
Note: Two RTN terminals exist as a grounding option on the DCD-521/C HD. The user
may select whether or not to double the battery return wiring. Use 16 AWG stranded
wire to connect RTN leads from the fuse panel to the terminals on the DCD-521/C HD
CEP.

Procedure for Connecting Power

1.

Remove battery source fuses from the rack fuse

bay.

3.

Route the power wires from the power source(s)

to the DCD-521/C HD shelf.

Note: If a remote system will be attached to

the master system, do not connect the expansion shelves at this point. Proceed to Part 3B.

Remove shelf fuses from the front panel.

2.

4.

3.01 Refer to Figure 5 and Figure 9 to connect the

master shelf assembly CEP to the CEP on each expansion shelf assembly as follows:
1.

Crimp a spade or ring-terminal lugs (provided

by user) to the shelf end of the power and return wires.

5.

Connect B power source lugs to 48V B and RTN

terminals on TB1.

7.

Verify with a volt-ohmmeter that there are no

foreign battery, grounds, or shorts at the power
source end of the wires.

8.

Connect the leads to the power source terminals

with the appropriate type of connectors or lugs.
Note: If power sources are directly from the
BDFB, develop a separate, detailed Method of
Procedure (MOP) to cut leads into the BDFB.

Page 20

Connect the provided 25-pin cable (p/n 060-4421004) between the connectors of the shelves per
Figure 5 and Figure 9.
Note: Cabling shown in Figure 9 is for reference only, and should not be considered as the
recommended cable placement. Cables should
be run as short and straight as possible.

Connect A power source lugs to 48V A and RTN

terminals on TB3.

6.

Reinstall shelf fuses in the front panel and repeat Step 1 through Step 8 for each shelf in the
system (master and remote, if applicable).

2.

Route expansion cables to the right or left, out

through the cable access slot. If required, secure
cables to the cable bar using tie wraps.

B. Master System to Remote System

Interconnection
3.02 Master and expansion shelf outputs from one
DCD-521/C HD system can be used as inputs to remote systems within the building. A remote system
consists of a master shelf and expansion shelves,

Master system: requires two TOCA/C cards,
one in any slot of the master shelf and the other in any slot of the expansion shelf. If no expansion shelf is installed, both TOCA/C cards
may be installed in the master shelf.

Master system: use one output from a EA10/C,

EA10M/C, EA20/C, EA20M/C, TOGA/C,
TO-EA5/C, TO-EA/C, or TOEA/C card in one
shelf, and another output from another card of
the same type in a different shelf.
Remote system: master shelf requires ACI/C
cards for TOGA/C outputs, or CI-EA/C cards
for the other outputs from the master system.
One or two clock cards provide holdover during any timing interruptions.
Note: If other frequencies supported by the
DCD are used, consult the switching or
transmission elements guide to determine if
phase alignment is critical.

timing if both timing inputs fail.
2. Cabling is shown to illustrate connections only. Follow local company practice for cable runs.
3. If communications are not required, up to 3 expansion shelves may be used on both the master system
and remote system.

Figure 9. Remote System and Shelf Connections

Connecting the Systems

3.07 Refer to Figures 5 and Figure 9 to connect the
master system to the remote system as follows:
Note: If the installation uses an MIS/CV5 in
the remote system, the MIS/CV5 is installed
in the Test and Acceptance procedures. Do
not connect RS-232 cable and expansion
shelves at this time.
1.

Set up and mount a DCD-521/C HD System in

the same manner as a master system (Parts 2A
through 3A) at a remote site in the building.
Note: The shield (S) terminals on TB12 and
TB13 are connected to frame ground inside
the shelf. If the input reference cable shield
leads are connected to frame ground at the signal source end (e.g., at the output card in the
master system), the shield lead of the cable
must not be connected to the S terminal at
TB12 and TB13, or vice versa. Do not connect
the cable shield to frame ground at both ends.

2.

3.

(Phase-aligned) Use 0.643 mm (22 AWG) tinned

solid copper, shielded twisted pair cable, to connect an output port from any pair of TOCA cards
(can be located in different shelves) in the master system to the CCK inputs (TB12 and TB13)
on the remote master shelf (see Figure 9).
(G.703) Connect from two outputs on the master
system to reference input modules on the remote system. The cables must be diversely routed. Use 0.643 mm (22 AWG), tinned solid
copper, shielded twisted pair cable.

C. Bridging Isolator Installation

3.08 The Bridging Isolator (Figure 10) is installed
in-line in a traffic-carrying E1/CEPT bitstream. It
provides no loss to the traffic-carrying E1 signal. It
also provides one or three 750 high impedance
bridged output connections which have 20.8 dB isolation from the traffic signal. The bridged output
connection may be used to drive a DCD shelf input,
or an input to a PSM-E/C card. The signal grounds
are carried through the Bridging Isolator for both
the traffic signal and the bridged signal.
3.09 Figure 10A shows a block diagram of the
Bridging Isolator. The 750 bridging resistor on

TMSL 097-44210-13

each prevents the bridging cable or equipment from

loading or distorting the signal.
3.10 Install the Bridging Isolator in series with the
E1 signal coax at any point between the multiplexer
output and the receiver input as shown in
Figure 10B. The Bridging Isolator can be located in
a cable tray or supported by the cable in a vertical cable run. A cable from the bridging output to the
DCD-521/C HD shelf input must be less than 100
meters.

D. Reference Input Connections

Installation Considerations
3.11 If the local company Installation Job Specifications do not specify the DCD shelf timing input assignments, a local assignment plan must be
developed before proceeding with the connections.
Reference inputs are connected at input modules.
The following information is provided to assist in developing a plan:
Do not route reference input cables near inductive
devices (large motors, generators, transformers,
etc.) or other equipment which radiates strong
magnetic fields.
If the cable shield is to be connected to the DCD521/C HD shelf, connect the cable shield first.
Route the reference input cables in paths as diverse as possible. Do not install any type of redundant lead lying parallel and adjacent in the
same cable rack.
Assign redundant timing input cables to different clock input cards.
Route all reference input cables direct. Do not
use tie cables or otherwise break the shield between the DCD-521/C HD System and the device
delivering the clock input. If broken, the shield
leads must be bonded.
Keep all reference input cables unbroken. Do not
use tie cables or otherwise break the shield between the DCD-521/C HD System and the device delivering the clock input. If broken, the
shield leads must be bonded.

It is preferable to ground the shield at the timing

source end only, but certain vendor applications
may require grounding at the receive end. However, under no circumstances should the shield
be connected to frame ground at both ends unless one end is capacitor-coupled to ground.

tions are user-supplied 0.643 mm (22 AWG),

tinned solid copper, shielded twisted pair cable for E1 and CC, and coaxial cable for analog inputs.
1.

Connect one end of the appropriate cable to the

interface module connectors. Refer to Figure 11
for connector assignments for the input reference modules with wire-wrap connectors. Refer
to Figure 12 for connector assignments for the
input reference modules with coaxial connectors.

2.

Thread the other end of the cable to the right or

left, for connection to customer equipment according to local company Installation Job Specification.

Reference Input Signal Connections

3.12 Installation procedures for all CEP interface
module types are the same. Connect the reference inputs to the interface modules (Figures 11 and 12) on
the interface panel as follows:
Note: Ensure the ground source is properly
installed.

DCD-LPR/C Connections

3.13 Two BNC connectors on the CEP, J12 (OSC A

OUT) and J13 (OSC B OUT) (Figure 5), are for connecting to the DCD-LPR/C shelf. They provide the
necessary 5 MHz stratum signal source for the DCDLPR/C.
3.14 Reference input connections from the DCDLPR/C connect to the DCD-521/C HD as any other
reference input. Figure 13 shows connections between the DCD-LPR/C and the DCD-521/C HD.
F.

Communication Port Connections

3.15 The MIS/C card sends serial alarm and status

data and accepts control commands in TL1 message
and command format via the RS-232 DB9 connectors
(COMM1, COMM2, and COMM3) on the CEP.

REFERENCE INPUTS
FROM DCD-LPR/C TB1
AND TB2

3.16 The COMM2 connector is for connection to a

centralized alarm surveillance and control center,
and is switch-configured (on the MIS/C card) for
1200 or 9600 baud and parity. The COMM1 and
COMM3 connectors on the CEP are software-configured for 1200 or 9600 baud and parity. All communication ports are set for 8 data bits and 1 stop bit.
3.17 The local company Installation Job Specifications should specify providing a modem circuit,
packet switch circuit, or a dedicated private line circuit from the centralized alarm surveillance and
control center for connection to the desired COMM
port connector when an MIS/C card is provided.
3.18 Use RS-232 cable (user-supplied) with a male
DB9 connector to connect from the CEP (refer to
Table F for the DB9 connector pin assignments) to
the communication circuit.

5.04 Some loop closures carried by the

ALARMS/STATUS (J5) connector are made by relay
contacts and others are made by the open collector of
a transistor, depending on whether an MIS/C card or
an SAI/C card is installed. All open collector closures
are connected to the 48 V office battery. No relay
contact closure is connected to any voltage.

B. Alarm, Status, and Control Terminations

5.02 The DCD-521/C HD shelf has two 50-pin connectors for Office Alarms and Shelf Status indications, Clock Status (A and B) indications, and
Control functions. The ALARM/STATUS (J5) connector (Table G) supplies all connections. The
ALARM (J6) connector (Table H) supplies only Office Alarm connections.
5.03 The Office Alarm, Shelf Status, and Clock Status pins are loop closure alarms for the central office
(CO) audible and visible alarm system. The loop closure pins also provide a telemetry interface to transport remote alarms via remote telemetry equipment
scan-point inputs to a centralized alarm surveillance
and control center.

Page 28

5.05 All loop closures carried by the ALARMS (J6)

connector are made by relay contacts.
5.06 All SAI/C card loop closures, except the HLD
OVER A and B closures, are made by relay contact.
Figure 15, Figure 16, and Figure 17 show circuit
schematics for connecting the alarm, status, and
control connector closures to remote scanning telemetry equipment.
5.07 The Control terminals connect to remote telemetry equipment control-point outputs for controlling the alarm cutoff (ACO) on the DCD-521/C HD
shelf to silence the CO audible alarm.
5.08 Either the ALARMS (J6) connector or the
ALARMS/STATUS (J5) connector on the master
shelf CEP may be connected to the CO alarm system.
In a multi-shelf system, the Shelf Status, Clock Status, and Control signals are carried between the
shelves by the intrashelf communication cables.
Only the Office Alarms need to be connected between the shelves.

Office Alarm Connections

Control Connection

5.09 The Office Alarms are carried on both the

ALARMS/STATUS (J6) connector (Table G) and
ALARMS (J5) connector (Table H). These alarms
provide audible and visible alarms in critical, major,
and minor levels of severity. All alarms in this group
are relay contact closures for connection to the CO
audible/visible alarm system. Both normally open
(NO) and normally closed (NC) contacts referenced
to a common (C) contact are available, as required by
the CO alarm system.

5.14 The CONTROL function remotely operates the

ACO function on the SAI/C or MIS/C card.

5.010 If the CO alarm system recognizes only two

levels of alarms, major and minor, strap the shelf
CRITICAL terminals to the shelf MAJOR terminals
before connecting to the CO alarm system.
5.11 Either the ALARMS (J6) connector or the
ALARMS/STATUS (J5) connector on the master
shelf CEP may be connected to the CO alarms system. Only the Office Alarms need to be connected between the shelves in a multi-shelf system.
Shelf Status and Clock Status (A and B)
Connections
5.12 The Shelf Status and Clock Status closures are
carried on the ALARMS/STATUS (J6) connector
(Table G). These closures provide for connection to
remote telemetry equipment for transport to a centralized alarm surveillance and control center. These
loop closures provide indications of the type of conditions and the severity associated with the alarms.
Both normally open (NO) and normally closed (NC)
contacts referenced to a common (C) contact are
available, as required by the CO alarm system.
Note: CLKL RTN (clock loss return), PRT A
RTN (port alarm return) and BATT RTN
(battery alarm return) are internally connected to battery return (TB1 and TB2 RTN
terminals). HLD OVER A and B terminals
have 48 V dc through relay windings.
5.13 The CRITICAL, MAJOR, MINOR, and BATT
ALM terminals are relay contact closures. All other
Shelf Status and Clock Status terminals are open
collector type (PNP open collector, 60 V, 500 mA
maximum). Open collector terminals are designated
SI for the status indicator terminals and SR for the
status return terminals.

Caution: If CONTROL function terminals

are cabled to E2A equipment scan-points,
they will cause erroneous alarms on the
E2A and the CONTROL functions will not
operate.
Connecting the Alarms
5.15 The alarm relays in the shelf are in an operated (latched) state when power is applied to the shelf.
In an alarm condition or loss of dc power to the shelf,
the normally open contacts close between the NO
and C terminals, and the normally closed contacts
open between the NC and C terminals.
5.16 Some alarm and SI closures are dry (48 V dc
not applied to terminal) and others are wet (48 V
dc applied to terminal), depending on whether the
SAI/C or MIS/C card is installed.
5.17 The NO terminals may be connected between
shelves in a multi-shelf system as a daisy-chain. Use
a customer-supplied 50-pin cable with straightthrough connections (i.e., pin 1 on one connector
must be connected to pin 1 on the other connector,
pin 2 to pin 2, etc.). If the C terminal is used as a
common between critical, major, and minor alarms
in a daisy-chain of NO alarms, observe tip-ring (T-R)
polarity at the CO alarm system.
5.18 The NC terminals must be connected in series,
and not connected as a daisy chain. A special cable
must be constructed and supplied by the customer.
Figure 18 is a generalized schematic showing typical
series connections.
5.19 Figure 19 shows the connectors used in a standard multishelf system configuration.
5.20 If the alarm cable is shielded, connect the
shield to ground at only one end of the cable. If connecting the shield to ground at the DCD-521/C HD
system, use the TB5 terminal on the CEP (Figure 5).

ALARMS (J6) connector of the next expansion
shelf. Repeat until all expansion shelves are
connected.

2.

After alarm wiring is complete, test the alarms

per the local company Installation Job Specifications. One way to verify the cabling is to put
a short across each NO and C terminal pair and
verify that the appropriate audible alarm
sounds, visible alarm lights, and message is
generated on the host computer (if provisioned). Each scan-point in the operations system (OS) computer should be programmed with
a message that identifies the alarm or status
state. Since the available field length may vary
between different OS computers, Table I contains suggested OS messages.

mate with the DCD-521/C HD alarms connector
and 50 solid copper wires. Each wire in the cable
must have a diameter of 0.511 mm (24 AWG).
Prepare the office alarms end of the cable for
connection to the CO alarms system using local
company manuals.
Connect the master shelf alarms to the CO
alarm system per the local company Installation
Job Specifications.

C. Timing Output Connections

5.24 This section provides guidelines and instructions for connecting network elements (NE) to the
timing output (TO) modules for the output cards listed in Table J. The local company Installation Job
Specifications should specify which DCD-521/C HD
timing output port is to be cabled to which network
elements, what type of cable and connectors to use,
and the routing of the cables between the DCD521/C HD interface panel and the network elements.
Consult the network element manufacturers documentation for proper connection, termination, and
cutover procedures at the network element.

must be developed before proceeding with the connections. The following information is provided to
assist in developing the local output assignment
plan.

Initial Considerations
5.25 All timing output connections on the DCD
shelf are made at an interface module on the interface panel. If the local company Installation Job
Specifications do not specify the DCD shelf timing
output assignments, then a local assignment plan

Page 36

Some digital switch machines require 2 or 4

TOEA or 2 or 4 TO-EA ports per machine.
If an NE requires analog sine wave signals,
use 1 or 2 TOAA ports per NE.
SONET OC-n terminals require 2 TOTA ports
per terminal or per six terminals (vendor specific). Two ports per terminal are recommended for diversity.
Some digital switch machines and subscriber
premise NEs require RS-422 or RS-423
square wave signals, and generally require 2
TOLA ports per switch or NE.
5.27 For NEs that require primary and secondary
timing references, assign output ports from two separate TO cards of the same type for diversity. For example, assign the primary reference to port 1 on the
EA10/C card in slot TO1, and the secondary reference to port 1 on the EA10/C card in slot TO2.

Connecting at the DDF

ESCIU/C Connections

5.30 The ESCIU/C cards are different from the output cards. Output cards provide external reference
clock signals for network elements. The ESCIU/C
card inserts the DCD clock directly into E1 trafficcarrying links.
5.31 The ESCIU/C module is used exclusively with
the ESCIU/C card. The ESCIU/C module has a bypass relay which closes contacts to maintain continuity on the traffic spans if the ESCIU/C card fails
or is removed from the shelf. Always connect the
ESCIU/C card into the traffic-bearing links using an
ESCIU/C module.
5.32 The A direction (East to West) of transmission inserts the DCD clock signal into the received
traffic spans bitstream. The B direction (West to
East) is passed through the ESCIU/C without clock
insertion.
5.33 The ESCIU/C cards A and B direction output
signals conform to CCITT G.703 paragraph 6 specifications, and are designed for connection into the E1
bitstream at the digital distribution frame (DDF).
The network elements receiving a signal from the
ESCIU/C must be able to receive signals that conform to CCITT G.703 paragraph 6 specifications.
5.34 The ESCIU/C module is cabled as shown in
Figure 32.
